Hiya DJ!:-) After much thought; NAO, ROBI, DarWin, JD or Pepper my choice was quite clear, JD the robot. The reason of choice that it's capable of many things & much more than the others.....
Ordered JD a few days ago, he's scheduled for delivery today! Will be upgrading JD with a breathable skin and a Robi or Nao head, this will benefit his uses with kids in a class that have extream hypersensitivity & ADHA. Have been watching & reading all I can on the JD info along with checking out the software, in this case will be more prepared for the hands on once he gets here...
Had a simple upgrade idea for JD for the future; here it is...
JD's CoOl Voice Control (EZ-CVC)
Create programs, moves, apps ect for JD on the computer and have those codes programs ect activated via voice command and save them to a mini Memory Card of some sort.... Once your hard work is all completed simply place the EZ-CVC card into JD and say commands;
Activate EZ-CVC, once you say the initial start command JD will beep 3 times then simply say any title of the programs ect you have created then JD will preform the programs, once the program is completed JD will bow.....
Just a simple complex idea that would be super cool and kids, teens, students & adults would be able to sit back and enjoy the hard work they have put into JD....
Have a couple other ideas such as; 2. Come walk with me, JD will walk with you and follow you with a simple voice activation; Walk With Me 3. A much bigger idea but doubt it's possible at the momet without a big team creating the program for JD; "Smart Phone Connect" A JD version of Apples Siri Have a great day!
